As Accuweather reported, the heaviest rain will move northeastward along the I-95 corridor on Tuesday. Drivers from Washington, D.C. all the way to New York City should plan accordingly and be prepared for a slower than average evening commute. The rain is not expected to taper off in the tri-state area until Wednesday morning, while those in New England will have to wait until Thursday for the rain to dissipate.

“Easterly winds can gust close to 40 mph along the New Jersey coast,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines said in a post. “Tuesday will be a blustery and soggy day for much of the Northeast’s I-95 corridor. The combination of rain and a raw wind will make it feel more like early March than late April.”

On Tuesday morning, Raleigh-Durham International Airport reported that flights destined to Newark International Airport in New Jersey are currently experiencing delays averaging 2 hours and 12 minutes. Flights destined to La Guardia Airport in New York are also experiencing delays in excess of 2 hours, while flights destined to Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania are experiencing a nearly one hour delay.

On a positive note hopefully the old adage rings true and this April showers will bring us all spectacular May flowers.
